Maureen Village
Chakram left the car in the village which is in the lower area that can still be passed by motor vehicles. Together with Armansyah, the two walked down an increasingly uphill road. Several times, Chakran and Armansyah had to rest to take a breath, only then did they return to continue their journey. With an unbearable look, Chakram looked at the old man walking with him. Armansyah's breath sounded in his ears, which indicated that the man was very tired.
"Are we going to continue the journey on Armansyah.I can't bear to see your stamina drop. and look weak..? Drink first..." Chakram gave the old man mineral water, and with a concerned look looked at Armansyah,
"We take a short break Chakram.., please be aware of old Chakram's breath.. It turns out I'm not as young and strong as I used to be.. This kind of energy alone still had the ambition for revenge.." the old man smiled wryly.
"Sheilla may not be a match for me.. Once upon a time I was able to meet him in Singapore, it was a mistake. With the help of my cousin Sandrina, I snatched the woman from her husband Wijaya, I was satisfied enough to be her husband for a few years, though she and Stevie left me. Revenge is worthless." continued Armansyah while throwing pebbles forward,
Chakram just smiled, the young man was confused. Did not know what to comment about, because he did not know for himself how the old man's life journey. Right now the two of them were able to get to this place, because the old man already felt sober, and wanted to seclude himself away from the crowd,
"By the way.is your fatigue has been slightly treated Armansyah, if we can walk for a while. In front was a vast prairie, where we could rest for a short nap and we continued our journey again.." After a while they rested, Chakram invited Armansyah to continue.
"Well, Chakram.., you know this place better, young man.. I understand you, why until you do not visit your papa place, because the terrain to get there is indeed very complicated and difficult. You are indeed a filial son of Chakram.." Armansyah stood up and straightened his back. Occasionally the old man did the stretching, to stretch the muscles of his stiff hands and waist.
The two men continued their journey. Fortunately, even though the terrain they passed today was still forest, they did not cross paths with wild animals, the path they went through, including the path often passed by mountaineers, he said, who will explore in the Alps. Although the road continues to climb, but their eyes are cooled with a very amazing natural scenery. The birds that they rarely see in urban areas, several times fly in front of and above them very beautifully.
"The environment in this place is really still beautiful Chakram.., I get peace by being in the middle of this nature. I don't know if I'll make it to stay in the middle of the forest later." while walking, Armansyah spoke to the young man.
"If there is an intention, and also an ability, surely you will be able to pass through Armansyah, Later can be seen how my papa can pass through, my papa even became strong by living in this forest.." while continuing to step foot, Chakram responded to Armansyah's words.

A Few Moments later
When the sun was about to sink in the western horizon, finally Chakram and Armansyah had managed to see there was a wooden building on the edge of the vast meadow. There are horses tethered beside the building, as well as several wooden stables containing poultry animals in it.
"Our goal is up to Arman.it's a papa house building.. To bring the material here, papa used to rent a helicopter to get to this place. But when I tried to bring the helicopter to this place, it turned out that the coordinate point was like a shift, and I couldn't find this meadow from the air.." Chakram smiled, and invited Armansyah to rush to the wooden building.
Armansyah smiled, the man seemed to have a new hope, only he was also thinking whether he would be able to get through a state of solitude in the middle of a forest like this. But remembering the initial intention of being in this place, Armansyah finally re-awakened her spirit. The old man followed the footsteps of the young man, who was very happy to see the building,
"We're just passing through Arman's front door. Papa's probably already in the house..." Chakram led to the front door. Not long after, the two people were already on a small terrace with a long chair made of wood in front of him, Seemed a shabby pillow was on top of the long chair, and it seems like the long chair was used by Papa Chakram to rest outside the house. This wooden building is like a stilt house like in some areas in Indonesia, maybe to prevent wild animals from entering.
"Tok. tok. tok.., papa... This is papa's Chakram,." Chakram knocked on the door. Soon there were footsteps from inside the house, and stopped at the door.
"Kreet.." the sound of the door being pushed from the inside, and not long after it appeared as if an old face was on the doorstep.
"Papa.. This is papa's Chakram.." the young man hugged his papa tightly. Behind the young man, Armansyah looked at their interaction with an envious look. Not long after..
"This is a friend of Chakram pa.., his name is Armansyah." the young man introduced Armansyah to his father. With a respectful attitude, Armansyah reached out, inviting the handshake of the man who seemed to be of the same age as her.
"Let's sit down. Don't stand outside. Soon a cold wind will surely come, we should sit around enjoying a cup of coffee." the old man immediately invited his son and also Armansyah to go inside.
There wasn't much furniture in the building, there was only one room that seemed to be where the man was resting. As on the terrace, there were also two long chairs in the room, and a table containing the equipment of the old man. The old output television set was indoors, with illumination of the potluck.
"How is there any power to turn on the television and the lights here sir...?" perplexed as to how the electrical connections could reach the region, Armansyah asked foolishly.
"I'm getting help from the electricity management bureau in Switzerland. We paired infra structures to harness solar energy to capture heat, and became a power source for the flow of electricity. But I have to be frugal to use it." papa Chakram answered Armansyah's question.
